Hi there,
You could proceed this way !!
Tar your /dev/hda5 and put it in the 1st 2GB windows partition ( if you have time and
CPU power
you could even compress it ;-)
And then nuke /dev/hda3 and /dev/hda5 and then create a fresh /dev/hda3 linux partition
and then untar ( and uncompress ) your saved file in /dev/hda3 !!
There is no other way than this since you cannot expand an already paritioned hard
disk.
If you still want to resize your linux partition, get yourself a copy
of Partition Magic and have fun ;-)
HTH
Regards
Khader
